It's official: 33rd Fighter Wing is the F-35 training unit

And here is a story from the NewsHerald.com website in Panama City:

EGLIN AFB — The 33rd officially shed its “fighter” wing status Thursday morning as it transitioned to the first F-35 training unit. The former operational F-15 Air Combat Command unit is now a training unit under the Air Education and Training Command’s 19th Air Force.

The wing will continue the legacy of the 33rd, maintaining the “fighter wing” moniker and the “Nomad” name.
